About Henry Street Garden Centre
You’d expect us to be eco-friendly…
And of course we are, in a big way!
Trees, plants and flowers are nature’s filters for processing carbon dioxide, so we really are doing our bit for the planet by growing vast numbers of them here at Henry Street Garden Centre.
But it doesn’t stop there. On-site here (and at home) we all try to keep everything we do as green as possible to reduce our impact on the environment. For example as part of our environmental policy we:
-
Water all our plants with recycled rainwater
-
Make all green waste into compost
-
Recycle all paper, card and plastic
-
All our light fittings are low energy LEDs
-
We encourage our staff and customers to assist us by reducing their own waste burden.
-
We will support local farmers, growers and suppliers where possible
We will minimise the use of all materials and energy and not use any materials derived from endangered species or environments.
STOP PRESS
We are currently installing 383kw of solar panels on the roofs of our buildings to supply the majority of our electrical power saving, over 100 tonnes of CO2 every year

How Green is Your Garden
Your own lawn, plants, flowers and trees all help to soak up carbon dioxide, but you can easily improve your green credentials by composting and using rainwater.
And you’ll also save money!
